(By niuil) War restrictions invariably arouse protests, but tho one limiting woolen material for women's dresses to four and a half metres (about five yards) has been accepted without a murmur even with alacrity. This measure was readily ac cepted by the dressmakers' syndicate when the government pointed out its advisibility. . The tendency of fashions had neon towards ever ampler proportions of skirts. Since the war skirts under went a shortening process. The ques tion was whether the fashion of ample skirts should continue and the quality of the material deteriorate, or whether a radical change of style be introduced. The dressmakers' syndicate preferred the latter alternative, explaining to their clients that it is essential for the prestige of French fashion that no con cession be mado to the quality of ma terial for tailormade clothes in order to preserve the impeccable line which is so essential. One of tho chief considerations, so the leading Paris tailors declare, is American custom, which would fall off if it were found that Paris clothes were of inferior material. The restriction only applies to ma terials containing wool , so that for evening powns and indoor dresses, of non-woolen material, those who prefer flowing lines and full skirts will be able to indulge their fancy as before. As striking contrast to the severe and simple tailor-made, which will pre vail in outdoor places, will be the ex etic toilettes which several of the big firms are about to launch for evening wear, some of which are direct copies of Chinese models.
